One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty One Quietly Waiting

Except for Renly, no one in the entire crew noticed Simmons' anomaly.

Strictly speaking, there are only five professional actors in the "Boomstick" crew, Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist, Austin Stowell, and then Renly and JK- Simmons.

Renly is not only the most famous actor in the crew, but also a producer. Many times, Damien is willing to sit down with Renly and make more additions to the film from the perspective of performance and roles. This also made Renly the coordinator who knew the most about acting on the crew.

Now, Renly is also the only one to sense the aftermath of the performance tension.

So, even if Damien didn't remind him, Renly still took the initiative to remind him, "Fletcher, wait for my prompt."

"What? What... what?" Simmons gradually recovered, breaking free from his thoughts.

"We need to shoot close-ups." Renly explained further, the words are simple but not overly obvious, keeping Simmons in the gap between fantasy and reality, giving him enough time and space to slowly fully Come back to your senses.

Simmons slowed down for half a beat, then reacted, raised his right hand, made an "OK" gesture, and nodded repeatedly, "No problem. Of course no problem." Having said that, Simmons's whole person's state It was still a little hazy, as if half-dreaming and half-awake.

"That would be better." Damien had already walked over quickly, the panic and shyness on his face were slightly hidden, and then he focused on his own work, explaining the intention of the camera to Renly and Simmons.

These close-up pictures are all chemical reactions that burst out of the shooting scene, and specific adjustments have been made according to the performance of the two actors. Therefore, the drama management does not know anything at all, and Damien must personally complete the explanation and give guidance to ensure that The whole shooting can go according to his ideas.

After the explanation was finished, the crew began to operate again.

The shooting of this scene was far from being as simple as I imagined. From the beginning to the end, there were more than 20 back and forth shootings, of which only seven were interrupted due to mistakes, and the other thirteen were all Damien. After capturing close-up shots and close-up shots, I tried to complete the editing on the spot in my mind and pieced together the most satisfactory movie picture.

From the daytime to the night, the whole day of the crew's work time was exhausted, and this was announced as the end of the scene.

"Thank you. Thank you! Good work!" Damien patted Renly and Simmons on the shoulders.

I couldn't contain my excitement and expressed my gratitude, but Renly and Simmons were both zombie faces, staring at Damien coldly, which made Damien's words stay awkward and jerky. Tremendous stress.

In the end, the smile on Renly's mouth was the first to bloom, which made Damien cover his chest with lingering fears, "I thought...you just...I think...it's okay..."

The broken words could never be finished, but the meaning could not be more obvious, Renly closed his jaw gently, "It's one thing to work hard, but at least, we have completed the filming task today, how, that's enough. Have you finished editing?"

"Enough, enough, absolutely enough!" Damien said hurriedly.

In fact, part of the reason is Damien's "preparedness".

Because the crew was only allowed to shoot in Alice-Tate Hall for one day, after that, the Juilliard School needed to use it, and even if you wanted to make up shots, it was already impossible; so, Dami Eun went to great lengths to try and shoot a few more shots to provide more material for the post-production editing, making sure nothing went wrong.

According to strict standards, today's filming exceeded the working hours stipulated by the union, but all the crew members are still doing their best.

Simmons stood beside him without speaking, with a sarcastic smile on his face, but it was not very obvious. He always felt that the whole person was not right, but he refused to communicate. When Renly and Damien were talking, he He simply nodded and said, "Is all work over for today? Then I'll go back first."

Simmons drifted away quietly like a gloomy dark cloud.

Damien stared at Simmons' back, shuddered a little, and asked cautiously, "Is he... alright?"

"I'll see tomorrow." Renly didn't answer directly.

Because the state of Simmons is the state that Renly is most familiar with, and now no one else can help, and can only rely on Simmons to figure out the boundary between fantasy and reality, otherwise, no one can predict the direction of the follow-up.

Because of the on-site shooting, the scenes of "Boom Drummer" were not shot in chronological order, but the sequence of the overall context remained the same. Tomorrow and the day after, the crew still has filming work, but Andrew and Fletcher need to return to the state they were in before "Father/Father", which is another test for both actors.

Damien nodded ignorantly, looked at Renly again, and then came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, you must have been exhausted today, hurry back and rest. By the way, your tiger's mouth, you need to go to Do you want to be bandaged at the hospital?"

"I think our crew can stop for a while, and there is no need to hype the same news multiple times in a row." Renly replied with a sarcasm, chuckling after speaking, and then didn't wait for Damien any more. Saying something, he gently nodded his head to say goodbye, and then started walking, walking back along the crimson carpet of the concert hall.

Damien stood on the spot and savoured it carefully, and then he suddenly understood. He raised his head and tried to find Renly's figure, but found that Renly had already left, and he didn't mind, happily. Greeting the crew to finish work——

Because the most difficult scene has been filmed, there are still some easy scenes to follow. At most three days, the fastest one day, all the shooting work can be completed, and the next step is post-production. If there is no accident, they should It can also catch up with the registration for next year's Sundance Film Festival.

...

Renly stepped out of the Alice-Tate Hall and walked along the red carpet towards the exit of the audience. The body and spirit were still deeply tired, not because they could not distinguish between illusion and reality. Instead, all the energy was expended to film the scene.

But the amazing thing is that he doesn't want to rest now, but wants to quietly recall the feeling just now. It was Andrew's breakthrough and his own breakthrough. This mysterious and mysterious feeling made him feel happy. .

From a distance, Renly noticed the figure sitting in the back row of the audience, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, but his footsteps did not stop and continued to move forward.

The figure didn't make a fuss, and Shi Shiran stood up.

Even though Renly had pushed open the door and left, she was in no hurry, and calmly sorted out her clothes before leaving the concert hall. Pushing the door open, you can see Renly's back standing at the door facing the street, watching the people coming and going on the street.

The black shirt and black suit pants are still Andrew's costumes.

There is no close-fitting tailoring, and it is not a top brand. It looks like a standard suit bought in the "suit warehouse" of a popular brand chain store. After the fierce performance just now, sweat seeped out, and the clothes were soaked and dried, and then soaked again, like the chin of a Shar Pei.

People rely on clothes.

Under such a costume, Renly's back looks like an ordinary college student, with no star halo or gentlemanly demeanor. Even if he is thrown into the crowd of Manhattan, there is absolutely no sense of disobedience. There's even an air of living in Brooklyn.

Rooney Mara couldn't help but chuckle.

The most important scene was filmed today. Not only did Rooney come to visit the class, but Paul Walker and Ryan Gosling also came, and Paul also came with his daughter Meadow Ryan; in addition, despite the busy work schedule, Andrew - Garfield also showed up, unexpectedly watching the filming of a major scene.

However, because the filming was very difficult, all the friends who came to visit the class didn't disturb Renly's work, they just said hello, and then turned around and left silently according to their own time.

Between comings and goings, in the end, only Rooney was left.

Rooney was not in a hurry, just quietly enjoying Renly's performance. Honestly, it was a treat, because of the show, and because of Renly. When a person, be it a man or a woman, is engrossed in one thing, the whole person shines, and the charm is unparalleled.

Waiting and waiting, the passage of time loses its meaning. When the whole day's filming came to an end, Rooney was actually a little regretful, because she still didn't appreciate it enough, watching a top actor's performance, and the plot and story. It doesn't matter, it's a pleasure in itself.

His eyes fell on Renly's back, he stepped forward, Rooney and Renly stood side by side, and then he could see a cigarette dangling from the corner of Renly's mouth, his slightly frowning brows with a trace of vicissitudes of weariness. , different from the ordinary and greenness presented by the back, when you notice this face and these eyes, the wisdom and mature charm that belongs to time blooms, even if it is like an ordinary black Shirts can't cover it either.

Rooney was stunned for a moment, and the smile in her eyes slowly flowed out, "So, are you imitating James Dean?" James Dean, who died young, frowned and held a cigarette. , has become a film history classic.

Renly pursed his lips slightly, "Do you like James Dean?"

"..." Rooney didn't expect such an answer, but still shook her head, "No."

Renly raised his eyes slightly, "Then it's not."
